Horsebox Bars in Leicester: a buyer’s guide for a proper crowd-pleaser
If you’re planning an event in Leicester and want a drinks setup that looks brilliant, feels relaxed and gets people talking, a horsebox bar might just be your new best friend. These beautifully converted vintage trailers have become a firm favourite for weddings, birthday parties, engagement parties and corporate BBQs. And honestly, we can see why.
They’re rustic, charming, surprisingly practical and perfect for everything from countryside weddings to garden parties in the suburbs. Add a few twinkly lights, some chilled prosecco and a friendly bartender, and you’ve got yourself a proper moment.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to expect when hiring a horsebox bar in Leicester, how much it might cost, where they work best, and how to make sure you book one that fits your event like a glove.
What is a horsebox bar, really?
At its simplest, it’s a lovingly restored horse trailer turned into a fully functioning mobile bar. But the good ones are so much more than that.
Most come kitted out with:
Draft beer taps or keg systems
Fridges for wine, prosecco and soft drinks
Stylish wooden bar fronts and shelving
LED or festoon lighting
Chalkboards or signage for menus
They roll up to your venue, park up neatly, open the serving hatch and suddenly your event has a centrepiece that doubles as a drinks station. It’s form and function, in a very Instagrammable package.
Why Leicester is made for horsebox bars
Leicester is a cracking spot for this kind of setup. You’ve got grand country houses just outside the city, village halls dotted across Leicestershire, marquee sites in rolling countryside and loads of private gardens that are crying out for a rustic drinks bar.
Horsebox bars work especially well here because:
They suit both rural and semi-urban venues
They fit beautifully with rustic countryside and vintage drinks bar themes
They don’t need permanent power or plumbing in many cases
They’re compact enough for tighter village hall car parks and garden gates
From a marquee wedding near Market Harborough to a birthday party in a Leicester suburb, they slot in neatly without making a fuss.
What types of events are they best for?
Horsebox bars are versatile little things. They look right at home at a wide range of celebrations, but they really shine at:

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Whether it’s a full-day bar service or just evening drinks, a horsebox bar brings instant charm to outdoor weddings and marquee receptions. They’re perfect for welcome drinks, cocktail hours or as your main bar all night long.
Birthday parties
From big 30ths to relaxed garden get-togethers, they make birthdays feel like a festival. Add a cocktail menu and a playlist, and you’re halfway to a mini party paradise.
Engagement parties
Want something stylish but not over the top? A horsebox bar keeps things social, relaxed and celebratory without feeling too formal.
Corporate BBQs
They’re a hit at company summer parties, team days and client events. Less pub, more pop-up cocktail bar, with just the right amount of novelty.
Venues and spaces that work brilliantly
One of the best things about horsebox bars is how adaptable they are. In Leicester and the surrounding area, they’re especially well suited to:
Country houses with outdoor lawns
Village halls with car parks or side access
Marquee sites in fields or large gardens
Private gardens with driveway access
As long as there’s enough space to tow the trailer in and park it safely, you’re usually good to go. Most suppliers are pros at navigating tight entrances and uneven ground, so don’t panic if your venue isn’t perfectly flat.
Styling and themes: rustic countryside meets vintage drinks bar
Horsebox bars are natural scene-stealers. Their look is already doing a lot of the work for you, but there’s plenty of room to personalise things.
They fit beautifully with:
Rustic countryside weddings
Vintage or boho-themed parties
Festival-style celebrations
Garden party vibes
You can usually add:
Floral garlands or greenery
Custom signage
Personalised menus
Fairy lights or lanterns
If you’ve got a colour scheme or theme in mind, most suppliers are more than happy to tweak their setup to match. This is where you can really make the bar feel like part of your event, not just a hired extra.
What drinks can you serve?
This varies by supplier, but most horsebox bars in Leicester offer a good mix of:
Draft beer or cider
Prosecco and champagne
Wine
Spirits
Cocktails
Soft drinks
Some focus more on prosecco and cocktails, while others lean into craft beer or a full bar menu. If you’ve got a signature drink in mind or want a themed cocktail list, it’s usually very doable.
Dietary needs and preferences are easy to accommodate too. Whether it’s alcohol-free options, low-sugar mixers or a menu that suits everyone from your nan to your work mates, flexibility is part of the charm.
How much does it cost to hire a horsebox bar in Leicester?
Prices typically range from around £11 per person up to £30+ per person, depending on what’s included.
Here’s what affects the cost:
Number of guests
Length of service
Type of drinks included
Whether staff are included
Setup and travel distance
Customisation or themed menus
Some suppliers offer:
All-inclusive packages with drinks, staff and glassware
Dry hire where you supply the drinks
Pay-as-you-go bars where guests buy their own
There’s no one-size-fits-all, which is actually a good thing. It means you can find something that fits your budget without compromising on style.
How to choose the right horsebox bar for your event
Not all horsebox bars are created equal. Here’s what we recommend keeping an eye on.
1. Look for a genuinely friendly attitude
You want more than just someone pouring drinks. The best suppliers bring warmth, energy and a proper sense of hospitality. They chat to your guests, keep the atmosphere buzzing and make everyone feel looked after.
You get more than just a service; you get an experience. When the bar staff are friendly and engaging, it lifts the whole event.
2. Check what’s included in the price
Make sure you’re clear on:
Drinks menu
Number of staff
Glassware
Setup and breakdown
Travel costs
Any extras like signage or styling
Transparent, all-in pricing saves you from awkward surprises later.
3. Ask about customisation
Your vision for your event matters. Good suppliers go beyond expectations by adapting their menus, styling and service to suit you.
From building a cocktail list around your favourite drinks to adjusting for dietary needs, flexibility is key.
4. Confirm access and logistics
Share your venue details early on. Let them know about:
Access routes
Parking space
Power availability
Ground conditions
This helps everything run smoothly on the day.
5. Read reviews and look at real photos
You want to see how the bar looks at actual events, not just staged shoots. Reviews give you a feel for reliability, professionalism and overall vibe.
